Fórmula especial para fuelles de conexiones de cable aislantesTyco Electronics uses KraussMaffei pipe extrusion line
Special formula for bellows of insulating cable connections
January 27, 2010
tyco electronics is a leading supplier of electronic components for engineering, infrastructure networks and wireless systems. One of the products manufactured at its plant in Ottobrunn, Germany, is the bellows for insulating cable connections. Since mid-June, 2009, it has been producing a line of extruded pipe
kraussmaffei berstorff, represented by
Coscollola in Spain, specially equipped according to your needs.
The tubes used to produce a machine that Tyco Electronics had specifically designed for this purpose. When it came time to replace the machine, the company totally gave the project for the full line to KraussMaffei Berstorff.
This new line had to integrate the head of special blend of 3 layers that Tyco had developed.
The line is composed of two extruders mono-husillo, a 45-36 B/R KME and a 60-36 B/R KME, and a rubber extruder

Custom solution
Since June 2009, Tyco Electronics has been producing these sleeves on this new line of extrusion of pipes of KraussMaffei Berstorff, complete with a vacuum tank and spray bath.
The line is composed of two extruders mono-husillo, a 45-36 B/R KME and a 60-36 B/R KME, and a Vac GE 90 K x 24 d rubber extruder.
KraussMaffei Berstorff extrusion line with two extruders mono-husillo KME 60-36 B/R and KME 45-36 B/R, and a Vac GE 90 K x 24 d rubber extruder.
All the critical components of the system, including the extruder for rubber, were integrated into a system of control C5. The pipes manufactured in line has an inner insulation elastomer layer, a layer average insulation and a layer external also shrinkwrappers with electrical conduction. After extrusion, carries out the lattice of the tubes where tighten radially around until approximately 4 times their size.
In this field, the tubes are placed on a cable connection and are heated. The heat causes that the outer layer and the average contract at the same time, shaping the tube around the structures they need to take to produce a perfect isolation.
All materials used in the tubes are materials developed specifically by Tyco Electronics.
The extrusion line is currently operating in Ottobrunn, Germany, offering the usual level of high quality KraussMaffei Berstorff and with a result that has allowed to ensure the availability in a 98% according to the specifications of Tyco Electronics.
